Open ended idea: There are no formal institutions or academies offering Arts & Design (Architecture) in UAE. AI based design or Auto CAD courses are there for teenagers and above but that’s not real Build & Design. Everyone is only talking about coding these days, no one is talking about real building & construction skills and principles. Also in Arts, history of Arts from classical to renaissance to modern is not being covered in the curriculum. Unless there is a structured curriculum to teach Arts & Architecture in schools and colleges and more University level degrees are on offer in this area, it will be challenging to introduce it more actively in schools.
